Winston Smith, ein einfaches Mitglied der diktatorischen Staatspartei, arbeitet im Ministerium für Wahrheit, wo er die Vergangenheit im Sinne der Regierung umschreibt. "Der große Bruder" überwacht alle Bürger, jeder Widerstand gegen das System wird streng bestraft. Winston jedoch sehnt sich in seinem Innersten nach echter Wahrheit - und nach Liebe. Trotz aller Verbote beginnt er eine Beziehung mit seiner Kollegin Julia und träumt sogar davon, sich gegen die Partei aufzulehnen. Doch aus dem Überwachungsstaat gibt es kein Entkommen.

George Orwell (1903-1950) was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. Considered a classic of dystopian fiction, 1984 has contributed many terms to common usage, including "Big Brother", "doublethink", "newspeak", and "thoughtcrime", while the adjective "Orwellian" has entered the English language in the context of government deception, surveillance, and misleading terminology. The narrative unfolds in an imagined future when most of the world has fallen prey to omnipresent government surveillance, propaganda, and endless war.

Los ensayos políticos de George Orwell son una de las mejores fuentes de resistencia contra el uso corrupto del lenguaje y las versiones manipuladas de la realidad.

Sin blanca en París y Londres es el vívido relato del tiempo que Orwell pasó entre los más pobres de la sociedad, un recorrido por los bajos fondos. Fue la primera obra que publicó Orwell, escrita cuando era un escritor primerizo, y narra su primer contacto con la pobreza. En este audiolibro, Orwell describe meticulosamente un mundo de miseria y penalidades.

"Nationalismus ist untrennbar mit dem Streben nach Macht verbunden", aber nicht mit Patriotismus gleichzusetzen, so George Orwell in diesem kontroversen Essay. Was kennzeichnet nationalistisches Denken? Unter anderem der besessene Glaube an die eigene Überlegenheit und der Unwille, sein Handeln an realen Fakten auszurichten. Geschrieben 1945 und noch nie auf Deutsch erschienen, ist "Über Nationalismus" eine höchst zeitgemäße Lektüre und ein Plädoyer gegen den Rechtspopulismus.

Revolution auf dem Bauernhof: die Schweine haben die Herrschaft übernommen. Und während sie sich selbst immer größere Privilegien einräumen, beginnen sie, die anderen Tiere auf dem Hof zu tyrannisieren. Orwells bitterböse Satire ist eine Allegorie auf jeglichen Totalitarismus.

1984 centers on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviors within society. Orwell modeled the totalitarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984 when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda.

Bogens første del er en af Orwells mest berømte reportager fra hans ophold blandt kulminearbejdere i Nordengland i vinteren 1936. I sin usædvanligt klare og enkle stil beskriver han minearbejdernes hårde arbejde, den usle løn og de elendige boligforhold, som han også prøvede på egen krop.

I Paris og London på vrangen beskriver Orwell livets barske realiteter for de arbejdende fattige og de hjemløse i to af Europas mest berømte og glamourøse byer og afslører en skjult verden af slid, elendighed og angst.

I slutningen af 1936 drog George Orwell til Spanien for at deltage i den spanske borgerkrig og kæmpe på oprørssiden mod de nationalistiske og fascistiske kræfter ledet af general Franco. Fire måneder senere vendte han såret og desillusioneret hjem efter at have set kommunisternes brutale udryddelse af andre oprørsgrupper og skrev herefter en af de mest berømte beretninger om den spanske borgerkrig, reportageromanen Hyldest til Catalonien.

Tutti gli animali sono uguali, ma alcuni animali sono più uguali degli altri. Stanchi dei soprusi, gli animali di una fattoria decidono di ribellarsi agli umani e, cacciato il proprietario, danno vita a un nuovo ordine fondato sull'uguaglianza. Ben presto, però, emerge tra loro una nuova classe di burocrati, i maiali, che con astuzia, cupidigia e prepotenza si impongono sugli altri animali.

Prima carte a lui George Orwell, Fara un sfant prin Paris si prin Londra este o relatare emotionanta si foarte detaliata a celor citiva ani de saracie autoimpusa prin care a trecut scriitorul dupa ce s-a intors din Birmania. Aflat in cautarea propriei voci narative, Orwell repudiaza societatea "respectabila" si exploreaza viata defavorizatilor sortii, traind in camarute mizere si spalind vase in bucataria incinsa ca un cuptor a vreunui hotel parizian sau invirtindu-se printre cersetorii excentrici ai Londrei, al caror limbaj pestrit il inregistreaza fidel.

In 1943, three years into World War II, Orwell wrote "Looking Back on the Spanish Civil War," a long meditation on his memories. Orwell reminisces about his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. He remembers the foul living conditions, the overflowing latrines, and the poor quality of the meager food. It is often necessary to fight wars to preserve one's life or the freedom of the nation, and war is necessarily evil and vile. Atrocities are perpetrated by all sides in nearly all wars - the Spanish Civil War was no exception.

1984 is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime lead by The Party. Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities.

According to biographer D. J. Taylor, the young Orwell displayed 'an enthusiasm for poetry that in [his] formative years seems to have been as least as strong as any desire to write fiction'. Orwell's poetry is not among his best known – or most highly praised – work, but nonetheless shares similar concerns to (and displays the dry sense of humour present in) his prose. Mere foothills in the range of Orwell's work perhaps – but building up to the summits later scaled. Contents:. Awake young men of England. The Italian soldier shook my hand. Kitchener. Romance.
